BlackBerry PlayBook Torn Apart By iFixit, Tech Insights and ChipWorks

The PlayBook has some awesome hardware specs and it did not take long for the guys over at iFixit, Chipworks, and Tech insights to strip the BlackBerry PlayBook to pieces. The intriguing part is that the PlayBook has quite a few parts that comes from TI. We already mentioned ChipWorks tear down here at this link. iFixit has a video of their work check it out below.

Tech Insight has a side by side comparison of the total cost of the tablets as follows:

this is what ive been waiting for, tear down costs… not too bad considering rim isnt retailing them directly, and probably selles them for $350-399 for a 16gb, and that probably barely covers engineering costs.. and doesnt touch near what the QNX or TaT acquisitions were.
